PINEY FLATS - Rondal Anthony West, age 64, of Piney Flats, Tennessee, passed away on Monday, June 5, 2023.
Rondal was born in Johnson City, the son of James "Jim/JM" West and Bonita Stamper West.
He was preceded in death by his father James West, one brother Randy West and one sister, Lori West.
Survivors include: His mother, Bonita West, one brother, Jim West, three sisters, Trevia Bise (Wayne), Kathy Calandros and Cindy West, all of Piney Flats.Three children, April West (Kelvin), Crystal West (Michael), Rondal West II (Cassie).Six grandchildren, Caleb West, Callie Sexton, Jadaca West, Nevaeh West, Bella Moore and Zack Taylor.Four great-grandchildren, Caelin, Caylee, Cain and Carson.Several cousins, nieces, nephews and special brothers, Terry Rogers, Bobby Watlington, Roger Fagan and many more.
Rondal was of the Baptist faith. He knew his Creator, his Giver and Sustainer of life, his Savior, Jesus Christ, who died on a cross for him at Calvary. He is now in his heavenly home, where we will meet again.
Rondal worked as a Construction Contractor for over forty years. He was a highly skilled Craftsman. He loved being outdoors and spent most of his free time in the woods, either hunting, hiking or scouting deer. He also loved to fish.
He was generally a quiet man, but he had a witty sense of humor and loved to aggravate his grandkids, nieces and nephews. He had a way of being, what we called "Stealth" because he would come and go without anyone knowing whether he was there or gone.
He had no enemies. He was loved by everyone who knew him and he will be terribly missed.
The West family would like to thank all of the 4300 nursing staff at the JCMC who cared for him during his last days.
Mountain Empire Cremation & Burial Services in Jonesborough will be serving the West family.
There will be a "Celebration of Life" announced at a future date.

I'm going to miss Rondal. He was and still is an amazing inspiration to me. He was someone that made you feel that whatever situation that you were in good or bad, his presence alone would make it better. I can't remember everything that he said to me, but I will always remember how I felt when he was around. I know his family and friends will always speak highly and respectful of him. I know he's with Jesus, and that we have the opportunity to see him again.
